On 5 May 2020, US Senator Tom Cotton said in a Fox News program that all evidence of the origin of the SARS-CoV-2 points to two laboratories of Wuhan. There is no evidence that the virus originated from the seafood wholesale market in Wuhan. Cotton also pointed out that there is no contradiction between the virus that is naturally produced and the virus that comes from the laboratory.

"Now, all the evidence points to these laboratories: they use bats, they study coronaviruses, they have a history of non-compliance with safe (rule) practices, and patient zero infected with the virus has not been exposed to the seafood market. All of these are certain indirect evidence. " "However, on intelligence issues, we rarely get direct or conclusive evidence." "So, I agree: all evidence (although indirect) points directly to these laboratories."  Cotton said.

Cotton emphasized, "If the Communist Party of China has evidence to refute, they need to show it to the world."

Cotton continued, "As for whether the virus is genetically modified, this is a highly technical scientific question. The scientific point of view says," No, this is a natural virus ", but natural viruses can of course also appear in the laboratory that studies it. This is different from the question of "Whether that laboratory may not operate in accordance with safety regulations, leading to leakage accidents and thus becoming the origin of this great spread." 

On Friday, a report published by the World Health Organization (WHO) stated that it is possible to "determine" that SARS-CoV-2 is derived from natural sources.

Dr. Anthony Fauci, Director of the American Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, disagrees that the virus came from the laboratory. Fauci said that scientific evidence very strongly shows that this virus was not generated by artificial or intentional manipulation. This is naturally generated.

Cotton said that the information is obtained by Fauci’s comments and investigations do not necessarily contradict. He commented, "Dr. Fauci is mainly talking about whether the virus has been genetically manipulated or some form of transformation in a laboratory." 

Cotton said that, aside from these questions about the origin of the virus, everyone must point out how the Communist Party responded to the epidemic. He remarked, "They (The Chinese Communist Party) not only did not tell the world that there was a new virus in Wuhan in December, but it was extremely contagious. They (the Chinese Communist Party) obviously knew this at the time. Flights continue to operate between December and January. As a result, the originally possible regional public health emergency has become a global pandemic, a serious epidemic not seen in the century. "
